MUSIC NOTES
- I know this sounds weird but "Tomb Of The Mutilated" is like, comfort music to me
- "Inconvenient people"
- Favoite "new finds": Shojo Winter, The Hickey Underworld, Skinslip, Dead Infection, Parricide, Type O Negative, together PANGEA, Ninos du Brasil, Ott, Culture
- New Obsolete Sun stuff is dope as fuck
- How are Black Veil Brides so popular? It's mind-blowing, they suck
- That Brandon Flowers album is exactly as lame as I expected
- Patti Smith is overrated and I'm not ashamed to say it. Same goes for Missy Elliot.
- R.I.P. The Weakerthans
- From all the hype I thought that Sam Smith was gonna be hella dope but not so much
- I talk alot of shit but the new albums by Mumford & Sons and The Growlers are both ALOT better than I expected...but then again that's because I'm a hater
- Man I didn't realize how fucking dope Type O Negative is
- "Don't call my name out your window. I'm leaving."
- I know they're Christian, and hopefully anybody reading this already knows how I feel about that, but goddamn the new August Burns Red album is like the best metal album of the year
- Fear Factory never did much for me before but this time around I feel like I finally understand the appeal, and more than that, I really enjoyed it...I don't know what my issue with them had been before, maybe just bias against "nu-metal" which they kinda embodied at times in the late 90s but "Demanufacture" deserves its recognition as a classic.

SHOW NOTES
- Sorry to everybody who was at that Cool Side show, I really pulled a Sam Patch on that one. For real, tho, it's not okay to crowd-bash but it's also not cool to attack other people at a hardcore show. I feel like we were both in the bad but I was kinda more in the bad and I'm sorry. Please don't attack me.
